    Question about Bradley,Andre Ward,Broner,Hopkins,rigondeaux

    I have this serious question....Many casual fans like brawling fights(myself included)and we all know this fighters are not...In fact Berto just became somewhat famous when he started losing because he fought an offensive fight(as soon as he started the shoulder roll people change the t.v)But here is my question..are fans sick and tired of this new type of boxers,or one its enough?..Please dont say anything because they are black,since the highest paid boxer its black and a lot of sports too...
    I mean I remember I took my dad to dawson fight vs hopkins I and he was like what is this(also took him to tito vs wright)he never watched boxing again,Not until I showed him gatty...
    Anyways,do you think they will ever be successful(Not Hopkins,although no one pays to watch him)and I mean bringing in Big bucks..We all know broner on PPV its the crasiest idea,can you say 300k at the most buys?....Anyways..Once again this is a serious question and I am looking for an Honest answer.

    they so boring they all have to become ****s outside the ring just so people can be intrested in them, Rigo doesnt speak english so nothing he can do but accept his faith.

    the boxing slick style appeals to one small demographic, and guess what that demographic really dont care about boxing.

      Bradley - 3 gifts in his last 3 fights and he's boring
      Ward - Boring, clinching, cheater with no personality
      Broner - Classless kid that comes to fight. He will be successful
      Poopkins - one of the most boring fighters in history
      Rigondeux - Good but boring fighter that belongs on FNF

      only Broner will be successful because people will pay to see him lose. That's if he doesnt get sent to hell vs Maidana

        Neither broner nor Bradley are defensive minded fighters. U should really be clear what ur talking about before u make threads like this.

          They don't take enough risk and just wants do a "catch me if you can" to make opponents look bad.

            Broner has the most fan friendly style out of them all but I like to watch them all minus Bradley. Bradley starts flailing when he throws combos

              I like this post because it tells it like it is. Bradley is not so bad. He can fight but I thought he clearly lost to Pacquiao, lost a close one to the Russian and the Marquez fight could be scored either way or a draw but Marquez landed more big punches. Ward is highly skilled but also a clinching, mauling, hold and hit dirty fighter. Hopkins was an exciting fighter once but that was a long time ago. Today his fights are mostly dirty wrestling matches with very few punches being thrown or landed and are just awful to watch. Rigo is a very good fighter but not too exciting to watch. Broner is fun to watch in the ring but totally classless and a very hateful guy who has no respect for other boxers. I would love to see him get knocked out.

                If the question is who will be successful out of these boxers I would say Broner. He has the personality and following of fans who either love him or hate him. Hopkins is a living ATG so his status is above the question of success. Ward has all the boxing attributes to have great success but he is missing that "it" factor and a good rival like Mayweather has Pacquiao and vice versa. People will eventually catch on to Bradley but I don't see him getting that Mayweather/Pacquiao treatment from the fans and the media. If was going to happen it would have happen after the Pacquiao fight. Rigondeaux is probably the most technically sound current boxer but he has the longest shot of being successful. His managers should have him 3 to 5 fights a year just to keep his name out there.

                  Only Broner will become a major draw if that's what you're asking OP. He is entertaining inside and outside of the ring. This is assuming he doesn't lose sometime soon.

                  The demographic that it appeals to is the hardcore boxing fan, i.e. us. We at least appreciate the skills even if we aren't massively excited.

                  Regular casuals from all backgrounds don't want to watch slick boxing.

                    Our Demographic doesn't and shouldent count. We all the constant, We always watch the fights no matter what, the only variables are the casuals and nuthugers.

                    You telling me flomos Watch Carl Froch? Vitali? Mares? etc

                    But The flomos will tune into Mayweather and Broner and lie to us and say they watch Ward.

                    flomos are not Casual Fans they are just fans of the fighter.

                    Casual will tune into, Ruslan as quick as they will tune into Pacquaio or Rios.

                    But the Casual will never tune into Vasquez, Ward Or even claim to know who they are.
